The Click This is one of my favorite groups. I can’t really put my finger on WHY it is, but it is. They have a lot of songs that are about a hard life and having to grow up in a ghetto neighborhood, “mama's too strung out to take care of my so poor needs”. This group talks about having to make their own money, growing up too fast and remembering what it’s like being in a gang. I like how they're always talking about the real things in life, not just making up things about what they wish their life could be like. It also has something to do with my family, my sister is a heroin addict and has and still does have some of these same struggles. Some songs remind me of when I was a kid riding around with her, listening to oldies, now that I’m older, remembering some of these lyrics from when I was just 6. So innocent, not even knowing what she was really doing or why there was always people in and out of the car, and why she was always fighting females with rags on their hips. Now it’s a little more clear to me, I’ve come to learn the hard way. Life’s no fairy tale. Yet, I’m sober and it's pretty clear to me now what i want in life. So for now I’ll let the memories subside and retreat it to my mind. “Growin' up wasn't that cool to me I didn't have that many friends just enemies Until I quit school and started slangin' dope.” By: Miss Shara.

This Sunday is Mother’s Day. What it means to me is it is a day to celebrate moms and what they do for all of us and all the hard work they have done. The advice I would give is to respect your mom, because they do every thing in your best interest. I am planning to cook my mom breakfast. I am going to make her an omlette.

AFRICA Well, someday I am going to Africa….not only for an adventure…I'm gonna stop poverty and save the children. In Africa millions go to bed starving. Millions have and are born with hiv/aids. And millions will never know what it's like to have a smile upon their face. I believe we should all be grateful for what we have, even though we might not have it all. We have a warm bed, we eat at least once a day, and we have all felt love. Some day I will grab the hands that are reaching out for help and I will make this world a better place. ……AMERICA HAS RUINED US by Erma
Music Review
My favorite song is “ Stand by Me” by Ben E. King.
The song is played in the movie “Stand by Me”. This song shows a different side of the world to me, a time when people actually had dedication to one another and when imagination could be portrayed through enlightenment and inspiration. Ben E. King’s voice is beautiful. He goes through the song smoothly with a peaceful rhythm that makes me feel at peace. This song makes me think of a peaceful atmosphere like a meadow in which the world is at peace. 5 stars!

You should try and make friends, don’t judge them on how they look but by who they are. I have been seeing people all alone crying now a days. And I’m not going to lie, one of those people are me. It’s hard to get friends, because a lot of people don’t accept you for who you are. If you see a person by them self help them. Don’t just sit there and do nothing but watch. Because in my experience it’s hard on the person. And if you are the person crying by your self, don’t give up. I know how it feels to be a person disliked by others, but it’s because they don’t know what to do, But to you have to keep your head high and look at the bright side of life. That was one of the hardest things for me to do in life, but it was worth it. And if you are a person who likes others then don’t listen to what people say but listen to your heart and help.
The movie that I will be doing my report on is called Tron.
A kid’s father owned an arcade. His father was working on a
Project. Ten years later, the kid was now eighteen years old.
He went to his father's arcade and found secret doors.
He went in and found a new world. The world was just games and fighting.
He found his dad and made it out.
Five stars.

This Artec News is a movie review. The movie I chose is called The Doors, it stars Val Kilmer. Kilmer plays Jim Morrison. It goes behind a lot of things that happened with The Doors. It shows how The Doors started and how they became famous. It explains a lot of the music that they produced and who wrote the songs. It also talks about the all the other things during that time period like the Vietnam War and the hippie era. It shows all the craziness of Jim Morrison. I rate this movie 5/5.

Mothers day is something important, because our mother has been there for us. They have been through a lot. Let’s say about my mother- for mothers day I bought my mother a necklace. I want to say something, I love mom, that’s what I want the necklace to say. I want my mother to appreciate what I’m doing for her. She’s always been there for me and I feel that way. I want to be there for her when she grows old. I want her to live with me and my kids. You should appreciate your mother.

Osama Bin Laden’s Dead.
This is the best news in history, it is across the whole nation, it’s the all time best story ever heard. Osama Bin Laden is dead. We sent out special force officers to find him and we tried to take him alive, but he wouldn’t come in peace, so they had a fire fight. Then he didn’t come easily, so we shot him, but we took his body back to prove that Asama Bin Laden is dead. But the best part is that we finally don’t have to suffer or be scared knowing that he is finally brought to justice. The people that died on 9/11 will not have died, if we would have taken more precautions. We can’t always trust people and sometimes all we got is trust. Well, that is all I got to say thanks and goodbye. Done at: 5/5/11 9:20

What does treatment for mental illness mean?
First you have to know what Mental illness is. Mental illness is when you are disabled in the brain: not able to function well. this illness or disease (same thing) is most common in people that are retarded, insane and mentally crippled. These types of people are either locked up or in some kind of facility that separates them from society (The normal people).
Now my question is what is the treatment they give them, how do they give this treatment, and what kind of review do you give the people that give this treatment? Are the people that give the treatment any different from them, smarter, dumber.?
Look more closely and maybe you can find the answers. By Ibrahim
1)
Sharks have been around for more than 300 million years, and were actually around way before dinosaurs. 2) Like us, humans rule land, and most all sharks rule the seas, and oceans. Many people fear sharks, because they hear stories about sharks killing and eating humans. Sharks are really never trying to purposely attack humans, they attack because they think we are seals, or otters. In fact most sharks are not dangerous. 3) There are about 350 different types of sharks, and, scientists think there are many other sharks that haven't yet been discovered . 4) A dwarf shark can simply be held in our own human hands, as the whale shark can be as large as two to three school buses in length.

This week I saw Inception it was amazing!! It’s about this team of people who play like a game in their dreams, they are stuck down in them for like 10 years. The mission is to do as the leaders want and come home to America. As they are in the dream they must wake up when the kick comes on (music). Or else they are stuck in what’s called obis.

This is about the current events of the skateboarder Jamie Thomas. He is a professional skateboarder, but he is the one that made the brand of Zero and he made the Fallen footwear shoe. He did a video of himself of the Leap Of Faith. He did the most dangerous thing about the Leap Of The Faith is about the big huge stairs about 6 to 8 feet tall. Jamie Thomas made it to the Leap of Faith and plus he is the owner of the Zero Company and Fallen Company that is the awesome thing to have.

Music review!!!! I like this song called… Good Morning by Kanye West. The reason why I like it is because when I wake up sometimes I wake up singing that song in my head and I really like the music video. I just like the song I listen to it on my Ipod when I wake up!
Then I like this other song by Bob Marley and it is called Three Little Birds, Is This Love, So much Trouble In This World. The reason why I like those songs is because I love Bob Marley and he is an amazing guy! and I am just in love with his music!!!!!!:P

This group talks about having to make their own money, growing up too fast and remembering what it’s like being in a gang. I like how they're always talking about the real things in life, not just making up things about what they wish their life could be like. It also has something to do with my family, my sister is a heroin addict and has and still does have some of these same struggles. Some songs remind me of when I was a kid riding around with her, listening to oldies, now that I’m older, remembering some of these lyrics from when I was just 6. So innocent, not even knowing what she was really doing or why there was always people in and out of the car, and why she was always fighting females with rags on their hips. Now it’s a little more clear to me, I’ve come to learn the hard way. Life’s no fairy tale. Yet, I’m sober and it's pretty clear to me now what i want in life. So for now I’ll let the memories subside and retreat it to my mind.
